i just ordered 22-11-10 itp paddle tires for my kfx400 .. are these tires too big for my quad or will i lose my bottom end power. my quad is piped and jetted and ihave the big gun rev box ..they fit on my quad its just that iv heard that i wont be able to lift the front end up very easy and climbing hills will be a problem .. please let me know.. thanks ....any z400 kfx or dvx duners out there heard or tried 22-11-10s

 

are those sand stars? i run a 20-11-10 sand skate 2, when i started running paddles i dropped 1 tooth down on the front sprocket. just dont run alot of air in them, they will be alright. they are going to take away some power but you'll be ok, just drop that front sprocket.

 

I would'nt worry to much i run 22-11-12 on my raptor and yes there was minor power loss but i made it up every hill and i have no douts that there is not a hill i cant climb and i even did fine dragging.

 

I had 22" before and didnt care for them. they give you great top end speed but you loose low end torque
you will have to regear your quad if you want low end. I run 20-11-10 9 paddle haulers now and run a 13/39 gearing
and I mostly run the dunes in 4th gear
if you want 22" you will be running in lower gears with low torque

 

im not going to have time to get the gearing changed.im running stock gearing right now.will i have problems with the stock gearing at the dunes. and yes i got the sand stars paddle tires..

 

I think you might have problems, I would go down 1 tooth on the front to be safe, you need torque and lower gearing there
I tried stock gearing and its ok with 20" tires but with 22" I feel you wont like it

 

go one tooth down on front(13 i think). i put mine on in 10 min.

mucky what is factory on the rear??

 

stock is a 14/40 gears
this place might help gears

 

we are going to coos bay next weekend and they said they ordered 20-11-10 for me but they said they will have them on thursday but im leaving friday morning and you know how they say something will show up at one time and end up a later date.so if i can change to the smaller tire it will be better for me ...

 

you'll be happy with the 20" you'll notice the bike will perform better and you still might want to regear in the future
to fine tune it to what you want
